Domino, TX
How exposed is Domino to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Domino lands at the 74th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 61 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Domino at the 75th percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 93.4% of Domino's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 6.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 57 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Domino against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Domino sits at just the 43rd percentile even though it scores 74th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Domino ranks 8,203 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,637 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,022 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Domino and the insurance market
Domino's 74th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.4% of Domino in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Domino's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Domino, see the exposure-zones guide.
